And if one is looking for or getting out the same entertainment and broadening of ones horizon in a well written book it does not fit in your concept and is therefore to be dismissed by you.

Those who like the classics have all stated to be entertained by them. I said I like my entertainment to engage my brains and this is what classics can do all while being entertaining.

So why do you stubbornly repeat this rubbish?
